In the dance team world where recruitment is the latest selection model, what is the value of holding a traditional tryout? Listen in as alumna and graduate student Samantha Reutter joins me today in talking about all things tryout!
There are many difficult decisions we have to make as athletic coaches - sacrifices to family time, placing team above our own needs, determining rosters - to name a few! A friend recently encouraged me to share what I personally have found to be challenging choices during my coaching career. I hope this serves as a support for anyone to whom similar circumstances resonate. We can do hard things!
We want confident athletes and want to be confident coaches, so what's holding us back? Let's explore ways to develop the courage to be the next, best version of ourselves!
Welcome back! I'm excited to open a new chapter of the Dance Coach Playbook with you. Motivated by growing in personal purpose, and requests on how to avoid burnout, let chat about how to connect with our coaching "why" and living our legacy.
Are you the expert in all things dance team? No, you're not. Neither are we! Fortunately there are experts out there to support us coaches and our teams! In this episode, we explore how to find, select and create a working environment with choreographers, consults, and other professionals in the dance team community to supplement our programs' needs and goals.
Here's a little episode about our favorite topic...GAME DAY! Our most frequently inquired topic pertains to dance team involvement and contribution during the Game Day experience. Having recently returned from the NDCA Conference (which by the way, this is a dance team coach must - it was so great!) where Coach GK presented a short break-out session on the topic, we thought it was time to share a little on our experiences with making a winning Game Day environment!
Let's walk through a week in the life of a dance team coach! In this episode, we take a look behind the scenes of what it takes to run a college dance team. Each week of coaching looks different depending on the season and the week from this year we selected to share included practices, meetings, baseball and basketball games, and a tryout prep clinic. Follow along as we take you through this fun week!
As Tryouts Season begins, we're opening our playbook to the chapter on VIRTUAL TRYOUTS! In this episode, we share out some tips on what was successful for us last year, and what we're carrying into this years audition process. We also include some tips for dance team applicants preparing to present their best application. Best wishes in building your new team!
